Why is abortion taboo in letters?

In response to another of Nick Normandie’s attempts to demonize meat and meat products, approximately one-third of food-borne illness is related to fruit/vegetable matter (according to the Centers for Disease Control). It’s a shame that any attention brought concerning the destruction of our unborn isn’t allowed as much space in our paper.

Since I’ve mentioned the “taboo subject” (and in view of the fact my two previous letters written on that subject, as well as those written by others, have warranted phone calls to verify their authenticity, but 0 ink), I’m sure this letter will be circular-filed as well. Better to publish solutions to our bear problem proffered by a writer from Park Ridge (Bergen County) — those letters will be front-and-center, for sure. It is disappointing that a paper published in the heart of our county hasn’t the courage to publish on behalf of those who are unable to speak for themselves — unless they are of the non-human variety.
